Living in Taiwan for a few years has taught me how to make foods I am familiar with back home but with limited resources and on a budget. If you have access to a COSTCO, then your options broaden, but for the most part, we eat simply and this recipe is a part of a collection for the American teachers living in Taiwan with a simple stove, toaster oven and small grocery store in town.
Today's Recipe: Eastern Curry Dish – serves 6 people
We had some Taiwanese friends over to show us how to make this yummy dish. It was easier than I thought! They buy the instant curry cubes that are sold in stores all around us. I bought a package for $49 NT (about $1.50) for 8 people. NOT BAD! But you can find all sorts of flavors and levels of spiciness. Try it sometime! Add steamed broccoli as a side dish for more color and nutrition.
Items Needed:

1 onion
5 cubes instant curry (picture)
